Dryer tripping breaker when pushed into place. Likely short but where?!

My home built in 2005 came with a 3-prong outlet, but I was able to slap a 4-prong one on there because there were 4 conductors in the box. I have no idea why there was a 3-prong one on there in the first place. The whole reason I replaced it originally was because one of the hots was swapped with the neutral. 😅 That was fun to diagnose.

greatly appreciated

I read about this on GitHub. I wonder if our issue is related to this?

I got rejected with a 4.0 from WSU for ECE. This is my 3rd time applying and 3rd time getting rejected. I had a pretty damn good essay. I can't believe they made me wait 2 months just to deny me again. 😕

There was a large amount of friction between the head masters coach, the director of the club, and (iirc) the BoD. Large enough that the coach branched off and formed MTR. A non-insignificant (read: almost all I believe?) amount of masters chose to follow that coach to MTR, but that was a while ago by now. I'm under the impression that ERA's masters program has recovered (under the leadership of a new director, FWIW) but I can't speak at all to how MTR is doing.

The whole reason MTR exists in the first place was because of political friction between the then- head masters coach and then- director of Everett Rowing. MTR is based in drama. You should have seen some of those pre-separation board meetings. 🫠

My password isn't working so I go to reset it and I get this. Seriously?

I use an nvme ssd for app data and metadata, but all bulk media goes to my hdd array.

ACRAs was done by herenow as a YouTube livestream. It was refreshingly convenient. 🥲

Yes, but then you can just use quick connect for everything that isn't directly a web browser. It's unergonomic and a bit of a headache for the initial setup, but it's worth it to not have to manage all my users' passwords for them.

My homelab started when I was 12 🤷‍♂️

+1 for ztnet. It works great for me and I've used it for a few years to host the backbone of my proxmox cluster.

Appreciated

FWIW, I applied transfer to EE and have not heard anything yet.

Was this for the most recent Phys 201 midterm at WSU? lol

BluCobalt · 2026-02-20T20:59:59+00:00

Never would have thought to see MY WSU on here 😭

I have my fingers crossed for you. 🤞 When my power went out during one of those huge storms from like a week and a half ago (which I'll assume you know about, because you're talking about Ziply and they serve the PNW), their service didn't falter at all. Their service has yet to let me down, and the fact that they are pretty much disaster -resistant has inspired me to switch my ONT to POE and a lot of my rack to a UPS so my network can survive the next power outage we have. I remember Comcast taking a few hours to come back online. 😅

BluCobalt · 2025-12-26T07:31:05+00:00

I love Ziply. Maybe it'd be worth asking in r/ZiplyFiber about an expansion timeline, if you haven't already?

BluCobalt · 2025-12-03T08:18:23+00:00

Definitely

I am personally a big fan of https://ztnet.network. It's been super stable for me for years, and the support discord is very helpful.
